A Starting Point

Today I realized that if I don’t start somewhere with this blog that I’ll probably never start… so here I am… at a starting point. I’m pretty excited about blogging— it seems pretty simple—I get on here talk about what I’m currently interested in, share projects, and house updates and maybe one day people will actually enjoy following along with me (bad grammar and all).

I decided that I wanted to start this blog when my husband and I were in the (frustrating) process of buying our first home. Well, we’ve officially been in our house for a little over a month now and I can’t think of a better way to start off, than by sharing a few pictures of our house before we moved in.

About Me

I'm just a normal girl trying to make my home extraordinary. I love decorating, DIY projects, photography, reading, and all things artsy. I am a generalist and nothing fully captures my attention. I sometimes wish I could focus on one thing at a time, but oh well, this is my little quirk. I may not be great at one thing but I get to enjoy doing many things!
My husband (Brian) and I are first time homeowners -- we closed on our house on May 21, 2010. We're still trying to figure out the small things like how to revive roses/take care of a yard, what our home décor style is and how to fix plumbing issues. Right now we use a trial and error method, plus a little google-ing. We are loving every step of this new adventure though...
